So glad I didn't even try to sign up for the Boulevard Beerfest that's coming up. It was a complete clusterfuck and sold out in 8 minutes. So many people so mad. The service they were using to sell the tickets was hot garbage.

I just finished bottling my 3rd batch. It was an American Cream Ale w/ Honey added into the first part of the boil. When I sampled it, it was pretty strong (not sure the ABV) and decently sweet. Will be ready in a week or so!

I just finished off a Belgian strong that turned out pretty awesome. Got an all-grain brown ale currently in the secondary. I don't really have many tips about mashing though - my buddy whom I brew with knew how to do it so I just kind of watched. Next is an all-grain smoked porter though, so I will have a better grasp on it in a few weeks.

I had the Revolution Anti-Hero IPA when I was in Chicago, that was wonderful. Same with Begyle's IPA, but the name is escaping me. I also managed to find a place in Chicago that had Lone Star for $3 which was the best.

I had a lot of Michigan beers last week when I was up there visiting family. My favorite was Short's Huma Lupa Licious IPA. Wish I would've had more, as I probably won't make it back up until the end of the year.
